Read Psalm 119:1-8
1Blessed are
those whose ways are blameless,a
3they do no wrongh
but follow his ways.i
4You have laid
down preceptsj
that are to be fully obeyed.k
5Oh, that my
ways were steadfast
in obeying your decrees!l
6Then I would
not be put to shamem
when I consider all your commands.n
7I will praise
you with an upright heart
as I learn your righteous laws.o
8I will obey
your decrees;
do not utterly forsake me.p
Think
The
Psalmist invites us to hold ourselves a little closer to the light of God’s
law. He mourns the fact that he is not
as righteous as he should be. Its easy
when we’re honest with ourselves to think we’re so awful that there is no hope;
but with God there is always hope, so the Psalmist boldly positively prays:
Pray
‘I will obey your decrees; do not utterly
forsake me.’
Ask
God to fan your hunger and thirst for his righteousness.
